Hentz, Reid & Adler was an architectural firm that did work in the U.S. state of Georgia. The firm is "known in the Southeast for their Beaux-Arts style and as the founding fathers of the Georgia school of classicism."{{cite web |title=Collection: Hentz, Reid & Adler Architectural Drawings Collection {{!}} Georgia Tech Archives Finding Aids |url=https://finding-aids.library.gatech.edu/repositories/2/resources/310 |website=finding-aids.library.gatech.edu |access-date=8 November 2024}}
